Adapted SGI STL implementation ( for gcc, SUN CC, Borland,
Microsoft, IBM xlC, DEC CXX, ... compilers ) updated at:

http://www.ipmce.su/~fbp/stl/

(* URL note : please use "~fbp/stl/" instead of "people/fbp/stl/".
"people" is being maintained, but it may disappear some day. *)

What's new:

 * Debug mode provided. It includes "safe" iterators and
          checking of preconditions. Turn it on via __STL_DEBUG macro.
   New file stldebug.h added for common debug components.

 * Watcom C++ 11 portability provided with auto-recognition
   (Josh Levenberg <jlevenbe@math.berkeley.edu>)

 * Visual C++ 5.0 portability fixed [new-style headers still
   have problems] (Sean Donnelly <seando@microsoft.com>,
     Eric Bloodworth <eric@rrinc.com>)

 * alloc.h : fixed SGI deficiency of __STL_WIN32THREADS for
   multiple compilation units. VC++ users may want to define _NOTHREADS
          explicitly to prevent windows.h inclusion in case _MT defined.

 * alloc.h : primitives and adaptors fixed so that adaptors
    can properly handle any CD2-conformant custom
   allocators.

 * defalloc.h : allocator<T> made CD2-conformant(as possible).
   Now it may be used standalone as well as container
   template parameter. It uses default alloc.

 * __default_initialize algorithms introduced.
   used by vector.h & algo.h

 * algobase.h : iter_swap modified to use swap() as CD2 requires.

 * added a set of <xmemory>, <xalgo>, etc. new-style headers
   for VC5.0 portability. Problems remain when using new-style headers.

 * alloc.h : miscellanous alloc classes member functions
   renamed : xxx -> __xxx to allow allocator<T> usage.
    "xxx_template" classes renamed -> "xxx" to reduce unnecessary long
   symbols.
   debug_alloc adaptor used by default alloc when __STL_DEBUG set.

 * alloc.h : fixed __STL_SGI_THREADS case for SGI C++
  (Egor Elagin <elagin@selforg.usc.edu>)

 * functionx.h renamed to xfunction.h to avoid
   clobbering on 8.3 platforms.

 * Fixed config/stlcomp.h.* configuration #undefs.

 * "Collection page" updated. Slist.h updated,
           much more components provided.

 * Testsuite bugs fixed.

 * Documentation updated. Added README for VC++.

Bug reports and suggestions are welcome.
If the library works for compiler not listed at the page,
please report that.
